BixCut
Recent studies have demonstrated that reaming pressure developed within the medullary canal significantly depends upon the design of the reamer. The Stryker BixCut Reamer has been designed specifically to decrease reaming pressure.1
Features & Benefits
- Larger clearance rate for more effective relief of pressure.
- Forward and side cutting face combination help to produce efficient material removal and rapid clearance.
- Smaller 6 and 8mm shaft diameters designed to reduce IM pressure.
- Double-wound shaft designed to transmit torque effectively and with high reliability.
- Available in sterile disposable shafts to help insure a clean, sterile shaft for each surgery.
